Google's Fitbit Air: Water-resistant, not waterproof

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Google's Fitbit Air is water-resistant, not waterproof, meaning it can withstand immersion for up to an hour beyond 1 meter, or submersion up to 50 meters. While suitable for swimming, users should avoid hot tubs, saunas, and showers due to potential heat damage. To maintain its water resistance, it's advised to avoid soaps, perfumes, lotions, and high-velocity water, as these can degrade the seals over time. AI
